Since I have this perch, I am no longer the same man. Nah seriously, I find it so much more convenient to have the mic on a pole with pop filter, rather than having it on the desktop that is already crowded. There at least not need more space. However the screws used to hold the microphone or other, can not bear the weight of my microphone Blue Yeti with the suspension Radius The same squeezing a little harder.
